A deep love of aviation runs in the family for sisters Lauren and Cat Stevens, based at Long Beach Airport. Their parents, grandparents, and even great-grandparents were all pilots. They remember taking turns sitting in the right seat with their father, Mike Stevens, who they describe as “the epitome of an aviator.”

While neither planned on pursuing a career in aviation, Lauren and Cat were inspired to continue their father’s legacy after his passing in 2019. They founded Hangar Sisters, LLC, which rents space to individual aircraft, and acquired Plane Fax, a dealer-to-dealer aviation advertising company.

Lauren is a private pilot working toward her instrument rating, and Cat hopes to follow in her footsteps. The sisters love to share their aviation journey through social media and hope to inspire the next generation to get involved in general aviation!
